Wireless Connected Controls & Smart Sensor Products
Wireless controls and sensors connect different types of technology, enabling automation and remote operation. These tools can also send data to centralized repositories for analytics and process optimization.
SEACOMP supports wireless system development by designing and manufacturing wireless control systems and smart sensors, providing custom solutions for OEMs that need smart home, consumer, commercial, and industrial products. Our engineering team has years of experience in firmware development, product development, wireless integration, and embedded systems. We manufacture physical products that use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, Zigbee, and proprietary RF systems to control various devices.
Partner with a wireless control manufacturer that can support every stage of design, production, and testing. At SEACOMP, we provide complete design and build services for wireless control manufacturing projects.
Some devices we design and manufacture include:
- Smart HVAC controllers
- Sensors (for motion, temperature, light, and occupancy)
- Cloud-connected multi-sensor devices
- Bluetooth remotes
- Low-power RF switches
Factors to Consider When Selecting a Wireless Control & Sensor Manufacturing Partner
Selecting the right partner for manufacturing wireless controls and sensors helps you easily meet your quality and production metrics. Weigh these factors as you compare different potential partners:
- Reliability in Wireless Communication: The right partner excels in testing and maintaining compliance.
- Product Development Capabilities: Look for manufacturers with comprehensive in-house capabilities, including design for manufacturing (DFM) services, material and component selection, firmware and wireless stack integration experience, and ongoing project support.
- Sensor Calibration and Accuracy: Partners should provide signal processing, sensor calibration, and testing.
- Power Management Expertise: Look for providers who prioritize battery life and power efficiency and can reliably select long-lasting components for ultra-low-power applications.
- Experience in Your Specific Market: Choose a wireless control manufacturer that can readily comply with CE, FCC, FDA, and UL standards, as well as any other regulatory requirements in your market.
Key Technologies in Wireless Controls & Sensor Manufacturing
Wireless controls involve multiple technologies to provide clear signals and integrate with different systems.
- Bluetooth: Originally a consumer-focused technology, Bluetooth now powers industrial applications with these advantages:
- Low-power short-range connections
- Low-power BLE variants for industrial battery sensors and actuators
- Bluetooth devices can communicate with one another and with direct control systems
- Z-Wave: This RF-based technology is ideal for residential and light commercial applications, and it can handle control, status reading, and monitoring tasks. Z-Wave is very popular—used in over 100 million products globally—and is the standard option for consumer smart devices.
- LoRaWAN: This networking protocol works alongside the LoRa radio modulation technique for low-power applications in a wide area. It can connect end-node devices to network gateways and the Internet.
- RFID: Radio frequency identification devices use radio waves to tag or identify items across long distances. RFID readers can detect devices outside their line of sight and without physical contact to read information about them.
- Wi-Fi: The standard Wi-Fi for wireless sensors and controls is IEEE 802.11.
Smart sensors serve a wide range of applications, and it's important to pick the right wireless technology for each product's capabilities. Some of the most popular technologies for smart sensors include:
- Reading environmental factors like humidity, air quality, and temperature
- Detecting motion or occupancy through accelerometers, proximity sensors, infrared, radar, and ultrasonics
- Detecting light, including UV light
